Chapter 1132: Knowing the Reason
Chapter 1132: Knowing the Reason
At the top of the mountain, in the New Light Sect’s palace, the guardian Samaruga was basking in the light, enjoying the radiance.
He appeared to be thirty years old, a man with a mix of Luo Jia and Federation blood,a head of black, thick, Curly long hair, large nostrils, a robust physique, a skin tone of ancient copper, and eyes filled with Strictness and Invading Nature.
On his body, he wore a white long robe attached to his body, with a golden belt hanging down both sides of his waist, and a pattern of New Light Sect’s radiance on his chest.
As a guardian, he was qualified to enjoy the essence of the light from the ring. He didn’t care whether he could see the light of truth; he only knew that through these, he could stimulate the growth of his Heteromorphic Organizations.
As for the tenets of the Sect, the knowledge of the truth, as long as the benefits to him did not stop, he could continue to believe.
Apart from the annual sacrifice, like this monthly sacrifice, most of the light’s power was absorbed by him, a small part was for the sect members. This was also why he was willing to leave the Central City, not to the mixing place, but to stay here.
At this moment, he was fully absorbing it, but suddenly he sensed something mentally. He frowned, as he felt a strong sense of threat, even producing a slight pain in his brow.
"Have they come?"
He looked down, he had already received the news. The Daxun Visit Group’s Chen surname Fighter, and the remaining members of the International Investigation Team, had boarded the train to Suitonoy, and applied for their passage here.
This was clearly coming for them, and he knew it. Because the International Investigation Team’s Troublemaker was now under his feet.
Regarding the investigation of Skalerson, the New Light Sect’s higher-ups had not taken it seriously at first, as the Sect had extensive connections in the military and political circles of the Western Shore, many local representatives supported them,Politicians), and some Military Leaders Served as New Light Sect’s Security Advisors.
That was why, they had acted without restraint before.
But they didn’t expect Skalerson to actually apply for International Involvement. They were Clear, Once the World Countries Had This Excuse, There Would be a Great Hype, and They would Try to Intervene in Domestic Affairs, Especially on the Eastern Shore.
Generally speaking, the International Investigation Team found Skalerson Quite Interesting, as Skalerson was a Very Frank and Serious Person, which Forced Them to Handle Him Quickly, and Luckily, Skalerson Gave Them a Chance.
As for Whether the Investigation Team Would Continue to Follow After Solving Him, That Would Be the Outcome, and They Might as Well Act First, Even If They Had to Reach the Place, They Had Time to Prepare.
The Reason They Didn’t Directly Kill Him Was Because, for the New Light Sect, He Was a Fine Sacrificial Offering, and They Couldn’t Waste Him.
At this moment, several Figures Ran Quickly Over, All Were Servants of the New Light Sect, and These People Kneled Down in Front of Him, Speaking in the Sect’s Language, Telling Him About the Unfriendly People Coming.
Samaruga Moved His Shoulders and Arms, His Muscles Waved Like Waves, Then He Stepped Over the Patterned Stones, Passing Through the Long Corridor, Reaching the Sacrificial Site.
As He Stepped Out, the New Light Sect’s Followers Were All on Their Knees, Chanting in Unison.
In the Eyes of These Sect Members, Samaruga, a Powerful Fighter, Differed Little from the Divine, Being the Embodiment of the Soul Fire in the World.
Samaruga Circled the Fire Pit from the Front, Stepping on the Platform in Front of the Mountain Path, Seeing the Group Approaching from Below.
His Eyes First Fell on Chen Chuan, Ignoring the Half-Body Duro Qie Beside Him.
He Glared at the Tall Figure, Inevitably Rising a Strong Sense of Threat, Having Heard of Chen Chuan’s War Record.
However, He Was Not Afraid, Instead, a Fierce Fire Burned in His Chest, Raising Vigorous Fighting Spirit. He Could Protect the Three Major Public Sacrificial Sites of the New Light Sect, Not Due to His Preaching Ability, But Because the People Were Suitable for the Task.
What Truly Made Him Stand Here Was His Strong Power, Able to Calmly Respond to Challenges from Other Fighters and Provocations from Other Sects.
More Importantly, On Mount Kalpotu, He Could Utilize the New Light Sect’s Secret Rituals to Greatly Amplify His Own Power, Giving Him Full Confidence to Defeat Any Invaders.
He Watched Chen Chuan Walk Up the Platform, Speaking in Heavy Daxunese, He Said, “Are You Mr. Chen from Daxun?”
Chen Chuan Paused for a Moment, Barely Understanding His Words, He Replied, “Yes, it’s me.”
Samaruga Spoke Seriously, “If You Come to Visit or Join Our New Light Sect, We Would Be Very Welcoming. If Not, Then Please Leave, As The Land You Stand On Is the Government’s Private Territory Given to Our Sect.
We Do Not Welcome Outsiders Here.”
Chen Chuan Looked at Him, Saying, “Do You Know Why I’m Here and What I’m Looking For? If You Don’t Want Me Here, Then I’ll Have to Find It Myself.”
Samaruga said, "I don't know what you're talking about."
At this moment, Duroyeji said, "Mr. Chen, it was him. He and I were the ones who took the people away. Even if we go to the Judgment Court, I'm willing to testify!"
He was very clear that the moment he was brought here, he had already stood against the New Light Church. The New Light Church would never let him go, so it was better to declare his allegiance outright. This might give him a chance to survive.
Chen Chuan glanced at him, then raised his head to face Samaruga, who was almost a head taller than him. "You heard everything?"
Samaruga did not continue to argue. Saying a few polite words was already the limit of his patience. Now, he only wanted to solve the problem with his fists.
He stared at Chen Chuan and said, "I've heard of you. You once defeated three Forbidden Chamber Fighters alone. Perhaps this gave you confidence, but that was elsewhere. Here, under the light of truth, in my presence, you will never get what you want."
Chen Chuan had no interest in further conversation. Since the other party had expressed a willingness to resolve things through force, it aligned with his own intentions. He slowly lifted the Xuejun Blade in his hand, drawing the sheath to reveal a blade that glinted brightly under the light.
Samaruga squinted, reaching out to grab two short sticks from the side of the colonnade. Almost simultaneously, an orange-red spiritual light emanated from his body. He lowered his center of gravity, held the sticks in both hands, and leaned forward, staring at Chen Chuan.
The surrounding believers, clearly not strangers to such scenes, retreated orderly under the High Priest's direction, clearing a large open space for the two men.
Seeing him take his stance, Chen Chuan no longer held back and immediately struck forward with his blade.
Samaruga followed the path of the Divine Aspect. His usual tactics involved changing during combat, so when he saw Chen Chuan move, his body instantly expanded. According to his calculations, he could complete the transformation halfway through the opponent's approach, then intercept and stop the attack.
However, he greatly underestimated his opponent's speed. Before his body could fully expand, Chen Chuan's blade slashed across his face!
The blade was razor-sharp, tearing through the spiritual fire on his face and deeply slicing in. It was only stopped by the second layer of spiritual fire, but even without breaking through, the force of the blow sent Samaruga reeling backward.
Chen Chuan's single strike disrupted his balance. Without waiting for him to regain his footing, he used the momentum of his forward rush to close the distance and pushed him with his hand!
This seemingly light push caused the spiritual light at the point of contact to explode, and Samaruga's massive body was sent flying backward!
Chen Chuan, propelled by the force field of the Great Void Stance, quickly followed up, his blade raised high once more.
In mid-air, Samaruga's body continued to transform, his muscles rapidly expanding and stretching. He was rapidly turning into a massive three-eyed lion, its crimson mane burning like flames, and its body wrapped in white cloud light.
This was the Tarkul Lion from the Chalrogado mythology, the devourer of the god's abandoned offspring!
Chen Chuan was seeing a fully transformed Divine Aspect for the first time. The Divine Aspect could take many forms, depending on the object of contemplation. The most threatening aspect was that the Divine Aspect often possessed unique powers.
Reaching the appropriate distance, he struck again with his blade. However, this time, a strange force seemed to emanate from his body, rapidly dissipating the intense spiritual fire that had been surrounding the blade, preventing it from penetrating the outer layer of the opponent's spiritual fire.
His eyes flickered. A passive power? One that can dissolve spiritual fire?
Samaruga chose the Tarkul Lion as his Divine Aspect because this form's power could nullify the opponent's spiritual fire within a certain distance. If the power was strong enough, it could even neutralize a soul impact.
This was one of his sources of confidence. However, he hadn't expected that his well-planned tactics and strategies would be completely useless. The enemy's strength far exceeded his expectations, and he found himself on the defensive from the start. If not for the ritual's blessing, he might have already been killed.
Now, relying on his power, he gained a moment to regroup and prepare a counterattack. Just as he was about to move, he felt his body affected by a force field, restrained in some way. This brief moment of distraction was enough for the situation to change.
Chen Chuan was here to find someone, and the faster he completed his mission, the better. He had no time for a prolonged duel. He turned his hand and delivered a palm strike, the highly concentrated and abundant spiritual fire resisting the dissolving force, and with a loud slap, it hit Samaruga's body.
A blinding light burst forth from the edge of the palm, followed by a powerful soul impact that exploded at such close range!
